Poured a clear gold with no head and beautiful legs. Sweet apple and candy notes. Some hints of brown apple flesh. Mild fusel vapors. The flavor is pretty sweet but not over the top. Every sip taste like I am biting into an apple. So damn tasty.

Sep 1, 2008 2004 vintage. Aroma is massive, cellared apples, cinnamon a little honey, some hints of oak. This is one I could have just sniffed for a long long time. But then the flavor! Wow, the first taste is almost overwhelmingly apple, but then all the other more subtle flavors come to play and it just keeps getting better and better. It’s sweet, but has a good tart kick, the oak adds a depth you don’t quite get in the Neige alone. This stuff was sublime.

Aug 8, 2008 [1400-20080530] Bottle. Dry wooden apple barrel aroma. Clear, dark yellow orange body with no head. Muted apple flavour has a bit of dry wooden notes throughout. Smooth medium body. Nice and sweet.

Jun 28, 2008 Bottle shared with toncatcher. lots of sour and sweet apple flavors. Some hints of strawberry or kiwi in there too. Some wood on the finish was a bit of a surprise. Very very tasty stuff. I could get addicted to this stuff.

Jun 5, 2008 just like their neige cider, but the oak really adds another dimension. You can really tatse the oak, and a touch of vanilla, mixed with the sweet thick apples, and honey, this is intense, and so tasty

Jun 4, 2008 More subtle, complex than the Neige, less sweet, with a little wood. Acidic edge around the tongue. But most disappointingly it had less engaging apple notes than the Neige. Doesn’t rise to the delight of the best English ciders, though that’s a whole genre away. Still, can’t complain too much with the ciders of this maker. (Montreal Beer Festival, 2008).
